## Resource

Denver’s offseason is heating up — but not with blockbuster trades. After an early playoff exit, the Nuggets are circling around restricted free agent Peyton Watson, whose breakout season was cut short by injury. Watson’s camp, led by Rich Paul, is holding firm, demanding a $30M+ contract — citing his clutch scoring, elite defense, and carrying the load when Jokic was out. They’re playing the waiting game, hoping another team offers more to force Denver’s hand. The Nuggets want to move fast, but Watson’s team is happy to stall — turning this into a high-stakes free agency standoff before training camp even begins.
